Subject: [PATCH 2/3] rtnetlink: fix potential NULL pointer dereference

Now since commit fbdc1e8c6b79 (rtnetlink: walk through all devs in
netns safely on link params change) group of network devices can
be moved into another network namespace, there is NULL pointer
dereference in the do_setlink() as it get's called from
rtnl_group_changelink() with ifname == NULL.

Fixes: e7ed828f10bd netlink: support setting devgroup parameters
